Park covering Union Tpk tunnel opening

This may be a stupid question, but why can't they build a park or some greenspace to vill the void above Union Tpk? I know trucks aren't an issue because they dont fit in the tunnel to get onto the turnpike, so what is stopping this from happening? Of course construction of something like this would impair the traffic and accessibility, but I think in the long run, this could be super beneficial. It would make it so much easier/safer to cross this part of the turnpike. Is there a petition for this? Because I will sign.

Looking for tenant to take over lease

Hi Forest Hills folks - My wife, newborn baby, and I are vacating our 1bd /1bath apartment on July 1 to move to the Bronx for a new job, and we are helping our landlord to find new tenants to take over the remainder of our lease, which ends on Jan. 31, 2027.

We've lived in this apartment for over 2 years, and it's a wonderful space. The apartment is nice, quiet, and spacious (950 sq ft), with great natural light. It has a sizeable kitchen for the price and lots of closet space too. We pay $2600/month. Additional costs would be electricity, gas, and Internet. We're on the top floor (6th floor) of a building on 72nd Ave, right between Austin St and Queens Blvd, so just a few steps away from Austin Street and all its shops, and about 3-5 minute walk to the express E/F/M/R subway stop and the LIRR. For anyone interested in learning more, message me! I'd be happy to share photos/videos and answer any questions you may have about the space.

Looking at co-ops in Kew Gardens

Hello, I'm looking to buy an apartment in a co-op in Kew Gardens and found a place we were interested in Beverly House. I was wondering if anyone had an insight into the building and board. It looks lovely, but does anyone know if it is managed well (physically and financially)? We also noticed that part of the building faces the LIRR tracks, and was wondering if the noise from the trains is bothersome, if anyone has experience being in a building facing the tracks. Any insight would be appreciated!

Plant Trees in Forest Park this Weekend!

If you're looking to connect more with the community, the natural world, or both, here's a great way to begin this weekend. In my experience, this kind of work can feel incredibly meaningful in a time when it can be hard to know how to meaningfully contribute.

From the Natural Areas Conservancy, which is partnering with NYC Parks:

We need your help planting 500 trees in Forest Park! Join the NAC on two upcoming volunteer days to help make Forest Park greener!
No experience needed—we will demonstrate site-prep, planting, and provide gloves.
We need volunteers for both days:

Friday, May 15: Planting-Site Prep Day from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.

Saturday, May 16: Tree Planting Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I'll be there - hope to see you!
